The Passing Show


PORTRAIT OF WM. FORSYTH, ESQ. BY S. P. BAUS

V. PLASTIC CLUB, PHILADELPHIA, AND
PEABODY INSTITUTE, BALTIMORE
A Baltimorean, Marjorie D. Martinet, and a
sprinkling of Philadelphians, including Ada C.
Williamson, Anne W. Strawbridge, Alice Kent
Stoddard and Elizabeth Sparhawk-Jones, have in
their recent exhibitions demonstrated how ably a
woman can play a man’s part in painting. These
ladies met with marked success at the Plastic Club
Philadelphia and at the Peabody Institute, Bal-
timore.
Anne W. Strawbridge showed ten canvases
which gave her indisputable right to be reckoned
an animal painter of prominence. Many paint
animals, few are animal painters. This lady in-
terprets horses and endows them with individual-
ity and character and, what is equally important,
she gives the true action. Alice Kent Stoddard
scored a signal success in the difficult task of treat-

for themselves or have
helped in promoting art in-
terest in the Middle West.
But it is most encourag-
ing to notice from year to
year in the Indiana exhi-
bitions the growing strength
of the younger generation,
those who are just beginning
to make themselves known.
This year, more than ever
before, one realizes that
when the members of the
“Hoosier Group” have
passed on, there will be
others to carry forward their
ideals. S. P. Baus and Clif-
ton A. Wheeler attracted
attention.
Others whose work should
not be overlooked were J. E.
Bundy, of Richmond; Mrs.
J. 0. Adanls, Brookville;
William Edouard Scott and
Wayman Adams, both of
Indianapolis.
H. McCormick, of Leonia,
N. J., and C. Reiffel, of Nor-
walk, Conn., contributed a
ringing note to the exhi-
bition .
